"MyHeritage.com is one of the world's first services to apply advanced face recognition technology to personal photos and family history; and it's free!"


How it works

Users create sites on MyHeritage.com for their family and friends and upload their photos to these sites, and optionally also their family trees


- Photos can be shared privately with family members or made public. The Media Center is where searches can be made across public photos contributed by other users


- MyHeritage.com automatically detects faces in uploaded photos, saving the effort needed to mark faces manually (though that is supported too)


- MyHeritage.com can be taught by associating faces with names, or with people from family trees. There are batch tools to simplify this. There is no need to download and install any software, it's all done on the Web


- MyHeritage.com automatically learns from every new face it is taught, so after a few examples it will recognize all your family and friends. It can be set to auto-tag faces recognized in high probability


- Associating faces with family trees is great fun. After doing so your family and children can click any face in any photo to see all photos of that person, or the family tree of that person, or their own family relationship with that person


- MyHeritage.com has sophisticated algorithms that facilitate the use of face recognition for genealogy: it recognizes faces in different stages of peoples' lives and uses additional photo meta-data such as dates and places to improve the accuracy of face recognition

LOL! I grabbed an image from Google, and check this out! (very cool, btw, it automatically figures out "where" the face is on the image, although you can also use the BR corner button to manually choose the borders)

Brad Pitt is actually Steve Buscemi!

Update: I played around with a few other features, and I repeat, this is a *way cool* web resource (i.e. "boredom-killing game"). Fun, fun stuff.

I wonder if you take screen grabs from some recent biopics (e.g. "Ray", "The Queen") and see if the actors look anything like their namesakes

Apparently I'm Jim Carrey?

Cool, I will have to check that out later.. looks like it would be dependent on expression as well. Y
